Just some thoughts about love...

Some of the most beautiful people are the ones with the most flaws; some
of the strongest hearts have been broken the most times; some of the
kindest souls have been through the most pain.

Their beauty isn't
*despite* these experiences, but because of them. Scars and cracks,
visible or not, are signs that the person has survived something and
come out better - signs of strength, not weakness.

When
someone allows you close enough into their private world to see their
fears and weaknesses, be grateful for it, & love them all the more.
There is a great amount of trust needed to be able to expose the most
vulnerable part of one's nature to another person, and as such should be
repaid with gratitude and love.

You can never truly know someone until
you know their flaws and understand the experiences that shaped them
into the person standing before you, & you can never truly love
someone until that knowledge makes you respect them more & want to
protect them from future harm.

About Me

"Gypsy" comes from my heritage & "Lost" describes the way I've always felt in life. Some call me a hippie. Some call me a feminist. Some call me an activist. I prefer to think of myself as a humanitarian, determined to change the world for the better. I tend to see things from a different perspective than most others do. I hope you enjoy my musings along the way & perhaps I'll change a few viewpoints in the process.
